Happy Remarks

What was on the wall that day.

I'm grateful for the shoe repairman on Cypress Street. He saved my favorite boots three times.

The moment my book's pages dry after I get caught in the rain.

My therapist said you don't have to figure out everything today. So I didn't.

I'm grateful for the cabbage soup. It's nothing fancy. It saved us all winter.

Catching the last bus.

My toddler learned the word grateful this week and says it about everything: socks, oranges, sleep.

My father teaching me to tie a tie in front of the bathroom mirror. We made it backwards three times before we got it right.

My wife cried at a song in the car. I cried with her.

First generation in my family to read for pleasure. Sometimes I just stand in bookstores and look.

My doctor said your numbers are good. I cried in the car. Good day.

My uncle finally stopped drinking. I've been waiting twenty years for this.

My grandfather kept his pocket change in a small bowl on the dresser. He gave me a handful at every visit.
